Darling West at The Monocle

The last two years of Darling West’s musical career can hardly be described as anything but fantastic. Since the release of their second album, «Vinyl and a Heartache», they have played concerts all over the world, been listed on the biggest radio channels in Norway and appeared on the Top 100 Country charts in the US, streamed more than three million times on Spotify, booked to the biggest festivals in Norway and Americanafest in Nashville and won a Norwegian Grammy. 

In February 2018 they released their third album, "While I Was Asleep", on Jansen Plateproduksjon, to great critical acclaim. They haven't changed that much since the last album, but one can still hear a slightly different and revitalized Darling West. Relentless touring and playing big festival stages has served as a catalyst to give them more edge and confidence. While continuing to play their sweet Americana/Country/Folk, the music has more drive and the melodies are catchier than before. 

In August and September they embark on their first ever US tour, playing in fourteen different cities across the country. So grab the opportunity and go see them play. As No Depression put it: “They are a perfect example of how Americana has infected the rest of the world, and they play it with great affection.”
